THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 28.
A number of freshmen who since last week have been lords of all they survey, will soon find that there is nothing quite so hypocritical as an upperclassman fraternity brother. A routine of rushing that called for a vast expenditure of money on prospective pledges, will be supplemented as soon as initiation is over by a course in scrubbing floors, polishing the woodwork, cleaning shoes, and running errands. Freshmen beware, the rapids are below you.
Did the senior class act wisely in its election yesterday? In a contest that was close and exciting it was decided to place the management of the Annual upon an honorary basis. This means that the man who is elected to that office must give a vast amount of his year's time to the class gratis. And in return for this expenditure of time, energy, and patience he is to receive honor and lots of it. Honor is a significant word when applied to the right thing, but the position of manager of the Annual has never carried with it an iota of the honor that rightfully belongs to this office. The management of the senior book requires keen business insight and it is only in justice to this officer that he receive some remuneration for a deal of time that he is forced to take from other things of University interest. Those who have never been associated with the production of a Jayhawker cannot appreciate the vast amount of work that the manager puts in above that of any one else connected with the book. But, after all honor is something.
Considerable feeling of resentment is felt by a number of senior College students at an excess fee imposed upon them when taking work in the School of Law. According to the catalog senior College students are allowed to take fifteen hours of work in the School of Law to be applied in the College to their A. B. degree. It is a rule of the institution that when two schools are entered the higher fee shall be paid. Senior College students must pay $10 for the year and law students $25. Many students desire to take but ten hours in the School of Law and this in the first term and hence they pay $12.50 for this much work. An objection is made to the exaction of another $10 fee when a return is made to the College. It seems only fair that when the offer is made to take work in the School of Law to be applied on College credit and when the higher fee is paid, there ought not to be another charge when the law work is dropped. And under the present system the University receives no benefit from the fee, as it is all paid into the coffers of the state treasurer. The resentment of the College seniors certainly contains an element of justice.

EXPLORES ALASKA.
Field Naturalist Has Interesting Summer Experience.
Alex Wetmore, who graduated from the University last year, and who is now employed in the Natural History Museum, has just returned from a three months' trip to the Western Aleutian Islands, off the Alaskan Peninsula. Mr. Wetmore was field naturalist on a biological survey sent out by the United States government. He succeeded in obtaining a large and valuable collection of birds, plants, and animals.
Mr. Wetmore said: "I left Seattle, Washington, about the first of May on a government revenue cutter. Arriving at the Aleutian Islands I spent the following three months among them collecting flowers and plants and shooting birds and wild animals. The climate there is very disagreeable, the weather being very damp, and the wind blowing at a tremendous velocity the greater part of the time. The natives are a mixture of Yute and Russian and their language is extremely difficult to understand. They live in huts called banabanas, built in the sides of hills. The high wind necessitates this mode of living."
Mr. Wetmore's collection has arrived but has not yet been mounted.
New Arrangement Work.
Professors F. E. Jones and W. F. Ward are preparing a manual for shop work to be incorporated in a 250-page book to be published this year. This is a practical text, modeled after Mr. Ward's text heretofore used in forging, and includes in it a course of identical instruction for all shop courses offered at Fowler shops. About 250 pages, 6x9, are to be devoted, almost exclusively to diagrams, drawings, etc., supplemented only by few instructions.
Until the book is published, mimeograph copies of the instructions are to be given out to students. The courses are progressive, leading in successions from Shop 1 on. Mr. Jones writes about woodwork and moulding. Prof. Ward explains forging and machine work.
Under the direction of Prof. W. C. Stevens, head of the botany department, five advanced students are working ut histological structures of heretofore unstudied desert plants. Upon their completion the results will be published in the University Science bulletin.

Y. M. CAMPAIGN STARTED.
Will Sums.
Fraternities Will Give Lump
The annual campaign among the students for Y. M. C. A. fund has started. Ray Soper with a committee of fifty men has been working on the proposition for the past three evenings. The plan this year is to ask every man to subscribe what he can to the fund. This subscription is to be collected monthly and in return the subscriber will receive a membership card. On an average two out of three men asked so far, have given something.
"We expect a membership of eight hundred men this year," remarked Secretary Herman. "This will give us about twelve hundred dollars from the student body for the support of the association. Our budget for this year calls for something like three thousand dollars so we will have some eighteen hundred dollars to raise among outside friends of the association. The fraternities are subscribing lumps sums as organizations rather than each member giving individually
NO SCANDAL HERE.
Only a Change of Engines in Power Plant.
Fifty university students were discovered in a dark building about nine thirty last evening. No there is no scandal in this. The janitor discovered them and they were in the library. Two engines were changed in the power plant and left the library students in the dark while they were still at their books.
When the lights first went out the students calmly waited, supposing the darkness to be the usual closing up "wink." But the darkness continued. Giggles began to come from the girls, and the boys felt for matches. It was just like being in a graveyard on a dark night—being in the dark with the dead languages.
Then some boy in the crowd found a match and lit it. And under the gleam of a dimly burning pine splinter the students marched out into the night.
A professor who has a 1:30 class is thinking of giving a course in sun dial reading to the members of his class. A freshman wearily climbed the hill this afternoon for his 1:30 class and thought that it would be pleasant to wait for his professor on the grass in front of the Law building. He stepped over and glanced at the sun dial. The shadow marked 1 o'clock. With a sigh of relief the freshman took to the green grass with which he blended and waited until the dial recorded 1:30 oclock. He then walked into the classroom at this time of the year is thirty minutes slow.
George Probst, junior in the college last year, is attending the University of Chicago this year

RECORD PEACH CROP.
Oread Cafe Proves to be Beauty Barometer.
The University of Kansas has a "beauty barometer." This instrument tells the number of pretty girls in school as accurately as the thermometer records the temperature. The Oread cafe is the barometer. When the hill is over-run with pretty girls, the Oread counters are taxed to their capacity. On years when there is a pre-ponderance of "clock stoppers" the business of the restaurant materially declines. This year Mrs. Beatty says business was never better.
New Fellowship Granted.
A teaching fellowship in physiology has been established at the University of Kansas by the physicians of Lawrence. The fellowship is unique in that it is established by people outside of the University. It has been awarded for this year to James T. Faulkner who was a senior in the College last year. He is already holding a degree as M.D.
Charles Hooper, who held a scholarship in bacteriology last year, left yesterday for Baltimore, Md., where he will attend Johns Hopkins this year.
The fellowship is to be awarded each year through a committee and will be given on standing in scholarship and special equipment for that line of work.
